One Sunday,when I was reading a newspaper,a special picture touched me.It gave the clothing sizes of each family member.I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves.I said to my seven?year?old twins,Brad and Brett,and three?year?old Meghan,“We have so much,and these poor people now have nothing.We’ll share what we have with them.”

I filled a box with foods and clothes.While I was doing this,I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together.Then she walked away.A few minutes later she came back with Lucy,her much?loved doll.She put the doll on top of the other toys.“Oh,dear,”I said.“You don’t have to give Lucy.You love her so much.”Meghan said,“Lucy makes me happy,Mommy.Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”

Each winter, the rugged North Shore serves up some of the largest and most impressive ocean waves on the planet.Giant waves make their long journey across the northern Pacific to the area’s shoreline.For many island residents, this means only one thing: surf up.

The exact origin of surfing is unknown, but most historians believe that the Polynesians were already very good at the sport by the time they migrated to the Hawaiian Islands some 2 000 years ago.Early Hawaiians called surfing “He’e nalu”, which literally translates to “wave sliding”.During this time, only high-ranking officials and nobles had access to the best surf spots.King Kamehameha himself was said to be a keen and skilled surfer.
Surfing really took off in the early 1990s.Riding boards made from redwood and balsa wood, early surfers risked their lives to take on these giant waves.
Today, thanks to a number of modern innovations and inventions, the surfing population on the North Shore has exploded.Wave riders and spectators from around the world gather here from November to February, hoping to catch that perfect wave.Winter wave heights can get as high as 20 feet, with faces up to 50 feet! This extreme surf is for experts only, and even then conditions are considered highly dangerous.
World-known surf contests are held here from early November to late December.The Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing, which includes the Vans Hawaiian Pro at Ali’ i Beach Park in Hale’ iwa, the Rip Curl Cup at Sunset Beach, brings together the world’s best professional surfers.Watching them surfing on the grand waves is really a feast for the eyes.
Although winter on the North Shore may not be the best time and place to learn how to surf, the summer months provide safer and more favorable conditions.
64.The passage is most probably from ________.
A.a(chǎn) guide book                                                     B.a(chǎn) magazine                 
C.a(chǎn) government report                                               D.a(chǎn) geography textbook
65.What can we learn from the passage?
A.High officials were the best surfers in the past.
B.Surfing dates back to at least 2 000 years.
C.The best time for surfing is from November to February.
D.Surfing is a sport for professionals and experts.
66.Which of the following is NOT true to the passage?
A.The Polynesians were among the earliest people who took up surfing.
B.Modern inventions make surf boards safer for the surfers.
C.It is a perfect chance for spectators to watch the competitions.
D.More and more people on the North Shore go in for surfing.
67.It’s suggested that a surf learner should ________.
A.make use of the summer time to learn how to surf
B.meet the challenge of the perfect waves on the North Shore
C.take the chance to win a prize in the world-known competitions
D.watch the professional suffers surfing whenever possible

科目:高中英語 來源:2011屆廣東省汕頭市高三四校聯(lián)考英語卷 題型:閱讀理解

The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
  As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment(承擔(dān)的義務(wù)), self - improvement.
  Ask a bachelor(單身漢) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
  Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
  Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
【小題1】According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ____________ .

A.he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B.he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C.he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D.he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
【小題2】Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ____________ .
A.a(chǎn) moral duty
B.a(chǎn) thankless job
C.a(chǎn) rewarding task
D.a(chǎn) source of inevitable pain
【小題3】From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ____________ .
A.hatred  
B.misunderstanding    
C.prejudice    
D.ignorance
【小題4】To understand what true happiness is one must ____________ .
A.have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime
B.make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C.put up with pain under all circumstances
D.be able to distinguish happiness from fun
【小題5】What is the author trying to tell us?
A.Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
B.One must know how to attain happiness.
C.It is important to make commitments.  
D.It is pain that leads to happiness.
